Chapter 379: Ambush

In the midst of the howling north wind, snow suddenly fell from the sky.

It is almost half of the distance between Guangling City and Lingqiu County, spanning a section of Hengshan Branch. A mountain road connects the two cities through a mountain range, and the snow is very heavy at this time, mixed with the snow of the cold rain, making the mountain road very muddy.

This made the devils of the Japanese squadron under the Japanese Shibayama Kotaro who took a truck north to reinforce Guangling City, and the marching speed was really not fast.

On the mountain road, there were mountains on both sides, and the convoy of the Shibayama squadron slowed down through the mountains and continued to move north.

"Yaga Ya Road is here, this damn weather! Jinto-kun, did the communication soldiers contact the defenders of Guangling City? In the middle of the marching procession, Kotaro Shibayama asked the squadron adjutant Shinto Ryuichi with a frown.

According to the current time, Guangling City is very dangerous. Coupled with the attacks and interceptions of the local guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army along the way, Shibayama Kotaro felt more and more wrong.

Jin Teng Ryuichi said in a low voice, "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, you haven't contacted the Guangling defenders yet!" The communications corps has made several urgent calls, but there has been no response! ”。

"It's impossible not to respond! Torotaro Nara's ministry had several radio stations, and all of them were useless. Perhaps, Guangling City has been lost! The annihilation of the Nara Brigade is still unknown! Shibayama Kotaro said with a gloomy face.

Of course, this is just the speculation of the old devils. After all, anything can happen in wartime. What's more, it is impossible for Shibayama Kotaro to give up reinforcements to Guangling City now.

Once Guangling City is lost, his reinforcements will bear no less responsibility.

Sure enough, the squadron adjutant Jinto Ryuichi said in a condensed voice, "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, we have no choice at the moment!" It is necessary to speed up the reinforcement of Guangling County. Even if Guangling City is lost, our squadron must rush there and fight fiercely with the new regiment of siege troops. Otherwise, it will be difficult to report to His Excellency Commander Yoshio Shinozuka! ”。

"Yo Xi!"

Shibayama Kotaro quickly agreed, saying, "Shinto-kun is right. By the way, Shinto-kun, where are we now? ”。

Jin Tenglong looked out with his head and said, "Your Excellency Squadron Leader, you should be about to leave the mountain range and arrive at the foot of the northern foot of the eastern Hengshan Mountains!" ”。

"Yo Xi, order all units of the squadron to speed up the march, ignore the small groups of Chinese troops attacking the troops along the way, and pass quickly. Order the signal soldiers, don't stop calling the Hiroei defenders, we must contact Torotaro Nara! ”

Jin Teng Ryuyi replied, "Hayi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, obey your orders!" Immediately, Ryuichi Shinto beckoned several Japanese soldiers to convey the old devil's orders to the Japanese troops in the squadron.

Soon, the Japanese army under Kotaro Shibayama, who was marching slowly and vigilantly, accelerated the march, and the convoy quickly passed through the mountains and drove straight to the foot of the northern foothills.

In less than a few minutes, the team of the Japanese reinforcement squadron that went north quickly left the foot of the northern foot of the mountain range and continued to march north along the mountain road.

At this time, Li Yunlong and the others were already ready for an ambush. Although the terrain on both sides of the ambush circle is flat, the ambush troops are less than 25 meters away from the mountain road, and the light and heavy machine gun fire has already formed crossfire, and Sun Desheng's cavalry troops have been ambushed on the mountain roads at both ends of the ambush circle, holding both ends at any time to intercept and kill the Japanese soldiers who broke through from both ends of the mountain road.

The Japanese convoy under Kotaro Shibayama, which was in a hurry, soon entered the sight of Li Yunlong and others.

"Da Da Da !!!"

The Devil Type 92 heavy machine guns on the three motorcycles of the Japanese army at the forefront of the convoy continued to strafe and fire on both sides of the mountain road to conduct fire reconnaissance. If it was the team of the National Army that was ambushed, the soldiers of the National Army who were not strong in military combat capability would be hit and screamed by the fire of the devils once they were swept and shot by the devils. The ambush intention is bound to be beaten out.

However, Li Yunlong's new regimental headquarters, including the newly promoted Fourth Battalion of He Yongjie's headquarters that were reorganized during the war, were mostly veterans, and even if the soldiers were hit, they would not let out screams one by one.

The heavy machine gun shooters on several motorcycles in front of the devil's convoy were strafing as hard as they could, passing along the way. But when they entered the ambush circle, they did not find the slightest new group of fighters in the ambush on both sides of the mountain road.

"Good! Made, brothers, call me! Heavy hit me hard! Ordered Wang Chengzhu to bombard the first truck in front of and behind the devil's convoy with artillery fire, blocking the devil's convoy from advancing and retreating! Fast! Li Yunlong, who was hiding behind a dirt slope on the left side of the mountain road in the ambush circle, finally squatted up and gave an order.

Everyone responded, and soon, the sound of gunfire suddenly rang out on both sides of the silent mountain road.

"Target the first truck in front of and behind the Japanese convoy, ready, put!" Artillery commander Wang Chengzhu sneered at the order of the soldiers who had already built the artillery position, and loaded the shells in their hands into the barrels, and the violent explosion exploded in front and behind the devil's convoy in an instant.

A whizzing mortar shell with tail flames slashed through the sky and smashed heavily into the first truck in front of and behind the Shibayama squadron.

The Japanese soldiers in the truck saw the shells falling from the sky, their eyes pierced, and they jumped out of the car in horror. It's just that the speed of the shelling was too fast, and by the time the devils in the car saw it, the shells had already fallen in the carriage.

The bloody Japanese soldiers were overturned by the bombing, and one by one the bombed ones fell under the car, either dead or maimed.

"Baga Ya Road, enemy attack, get out of the car quickly, cover the two wings and shoot, hurry up and drop!" In the middle of the convoy, the sharp-eared old devil Shibayama Kotaro bent down to dodge in an instant, and the red-hot bullets of the ambush fire of the first round of the new regiment did not hit the old devil.

The squadron adjutant was shot in the shoulder, and his bloodied left arm was almost unable to move on the spot, and Ryuchi Shinto grinned in pain.

However, Ryuichi Shinto was worthy of being a first-line officer of the devil who had fought dozens of battles, and immediately responded to Kotaro Shibayama's order, quickly opened the car door and got out of the car, and ordered the devil soldiers on the Japanese convoy to get out of the car and counterattack on both flanks.

Shibayama Kotaro immediately got out of the car like a fart, and the cat hid in a dirt pit on the side of the mountain road with his waist bent up, directing the Japanese army to counterattack.

"Xiba, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, is a regular army unit of the Eighth Route Army, not a guerrilla. The enemy fire was too strong, there were also mortars, grenadiers. Our casualties are too great! During the counterattack, the squadron adjutant Shinto Ryuichi braved the ambush fire of the new regiment, slipped to Shibayama Kotaro and squatted down, and said loudly in horror.

Shibayama Kotaro was taken aback when he heard this, and he looked around on both sides of the mountain road, and saw the new group of soldiers ambushed at close range, and immediately knew that what Ryuichi Shinto said was right.
